Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 455 The Interrogation (Part One)

From the knowledge that Darren gained from the ape, he knew that the Sect-protecting Rule Arrayset up by the rule cultivators included three small arrays, the Killing Array, the Restriction Array andthe Illusion Array. He was grateful to the ape for that knowledge. Each of the three arrays could beused individually. If one wanted to use more than one of them at the same time, it would be moredifficult than using only one.

The moment Darren stepped inside the Sect-protecting Rule Array, he felt that the three kinds ofarrays were all activated. With the three of them combined together, the power could kill a three-star grand warrior! He must be careful!

'If I didn't get the true soul token and got here accidentally, I would have already been dead bynow! What a trap!" Darren thought to himself, feeling extremely lucky to be alive.

After a while, the Sect-protecting Rule Array detected that Darren had the true soul token with him.Only then did the frightening aura of the array disappear.

While the big array calmed down, a person dressed in gray appeared in front of Darren's eyes all ofa sudden, startling him a little. Who could it be, Darren wondered.

"Master Kaleb, why are you back this late? The young master is dead furious. I'm afraid that even ifyou have finished the task, he still won't forgive you. You have no idea the state he's in," the gray-robed man said hurriedly with a worried look on his face, after using his Spirit Power to checkDarren's identity.

Darren was sure that he didn't replace out his true identity, and he silently let out a small sigh of reliefbefore opening his mouth and answering, "Something happened. I almost couldn't make it back. Iwill explain it to the young master myself. No need to worry.”

Darren was identical to the dead black-robed man right now in looks, the way of speaking, andmannerisms.

"All right. Then please go and report to the young master as soon as possible. He's waiting for you,”the gray-robed man urged Darren in a hurried voice.

"There's no need to hurry; there's plenty of time," Darren answered calmly, waving his handnonchalantly in refusal.

"Umm...uh, ummm... You have no idea how angry the young master is, Master Kaleb, no idea."Darren could tell from the look on his face as he was talking that he was still frightened of theyoung master's rage. It seemed the young master scared everyone.

To be honest, Darren didn't intentionally mean to stall. He just didn't want to get in there withoutknowing anything. He wasn't familiar with the situation there at all, and it would be easy for him tocrack his disguise. And he certainly didn't want to do that. When the black-robed man died, his soulalso disappeared so Darren couldn't copy his memory. Besides, even if he was still alive, it would beimpossible to use the Copying Skill to copy his memory. So, he had to think of another way.

The most important thing for Darren to do right now was to read the gray-robed man's memory!And he had a plan.

"Thank you for coming here to welcome me. Here, I have a small gift for you. I hope you like it."Darren had gotten many treasures and elixirs that were good for rule cultivators. So he took out afew green elixirs and gave them to the man. He held them gently so they would not fall to theground and break as they were delicate. This kind of elixir could help a rule cultivator upgrade hisSpirit Power, and it was very precious. The black-robed man only had 10 of them. So they had to behandled with the utmost care.

"Oh! You are just too kind, Master Kaleb. It's my duty to come here and welcome you. I really can'taccept this precious gift. It really is too much. You shouldn't have.” Though the gray-robed man saidthat he couldn't accept the gift, his hands were already extended to take the elixirs. He was excited.And it was the perfect time for Darren to read his memory! So he started immediately.

One was most relaxed when he was happy. So Darren made use of this chance to use the SearchingSkill on the man, searching for useful information in his brain. The man was so happy that he didn'tnotice what Darren was doing.

A few pieces of memory got into Darren's head, and the gray-robed man didn't even feel it. Thatwas because Darren's Spirit Power was much stronger than his. The man was only at level eight ofthe Spirit Power. There was a big difference between them.

"What's wrong, Master Kaleb? Has something happened? Do you regret giving me these elixirs?Don't worry! I will definitely say a few good words to the young master for you. Thank you verymuch, Master Kaleb. You are really generous! I really like my gifts,” the gray-robed man said whenhe saw that Darren appeared to be very tired all of a sudden. He wasn't sure, but Darren alsoseemed to be in a bit of pain in his opinion. In either case, something was wrong.

"Shut up, will you? Just direct the way! Lead me to it!" Darren demanded harshly. Reading the man'smemory had used much of Darren's Spirit Power, and that was why he appeared to be tired. Darrenimmediately stopped using the tiring skill once he gained some useful information. He was irritablebecause he was tired.

The gray-robed man couldn't help but shudder a bit at hearing Darren's harsh tone. He had thoughtthat Kaleb became much nicer after coming back from his task, but it seemed that he was awfullywrong. He was still the bitchy guy he once was. Nothing had changed. “Ha! The young master willdefinitely punish you, Kaleb!" he thought viciously and vindictively.

"Okay, okay. Please come with me, Master Kaleb, follow me this way." The gray-robed manappeared to be polite, but underneath he was full of insults.

Once they stepped inside the palace complex, Darren was utterly shocked. He did not expect this.To say that the place was huge was an understatement. Countless palaces were situated among themountains and rivers, like a sleeping dragon. Darren couldn't even tell where the beginning was northe end was. He was mesmerized.
